Help Us to Continue Making a Difference for ASD with High Support Needs


Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the fastest growing developmental disability – 1 in 36 children is diagnosed with autism in the US. 

Yet, there are only two FDA-approved treatments for autism, both addressing only a narrow scope of surface symptoms.

In addition, most children and adults with autism suffer various co-occurring medical conditions, significantly affecting their quality of life. Since many of them cannot communicate effectively or self-advocate, and clinician awareness is very low, these conditions often remain undiagnosed and untreated.

At BRAIN, we are committed to changing this reality by advancing science, medical care, and hope for children and families affected by ASD with high support needs and related neurodevelopmental disorders. 

We are:

  • Bringing together top physicians and experts to establish a much-needed standard of care.
  • Funding groundbreaking research to uncover the science behind these conditions, aiming for biomarkers and lab tests that can finally provide clarity and guide treatments.
  • Supporting treatment studies and clinical trials nationwide to find and implement therapies that truly work.
  • Supporting the publication of findings in leading scientific journals, so these breakthroughs can reach the medical community and benefit families faster.
  • Encouraging the next generation of physicians to be mentored and participate at symposia, ensuring continuous progress for years to come.


The good news is that there are some absolutely brilliant researchers and clinicians at major research centers and hospitals all over the US working hard at developing evidence-based treatments that can evolve into an FDA approved standard of care.

Together, we are turning the page to brighter futures for children and families navigating ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

But we can’t do it without you. Your donations fuel this mission and help us reach our ambitious goals.

Join us in driving the change these children and families so urgently need. Please donate today and be a part of this life-changing mission.

Help us identify, support and catalyze breakthrough translational and basic scientific research.

By fundraising for The BRAIN Foundation and supporting our mission you are helping ensure well-being, independence and quality of life for all.

We cannot do it alone. Together, we can move mountains
